Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a temperature sensor system for the beverage or packaging industry according to claim 1. Furthermore, the subject of the invention is a measuring device according to claim 10.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a temperature sensor system and a measuring device, which ensure an accurate temperature measurement within containers and also have a sufficiently high mechanical stability.
  • a temperature sensor system having the features of claim 1 and a measuring device having the features of claim 10.
  • Advantageous embodiments are the subject matter of the dependent claims. It should be noted that the features listed individually in the claims can also be combined with one another in any desired and technologically sensible manner and thus show further embodiments of the invention.
  • the measuring device according to the invention can also be designed with the temperature sensor system according to the invention.
  • a temperature sensor system for the beverage and / or packaging industry has at least one tube with a first and a second end, wherein the tube has a low thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the temperature sensor system has a temperature sensor, which is arranged in the interior of the tube. Advantageously, the temperature sensor is in the region of the first end of the tube. Furthermore, the system according to the invention has a thermally conductive element, which is arranged at an opening of the first end of the tube.
  • the temperature sensor arrangement according to the invention has the advantage over the prior art that by using a tube with a low thermal conductivity on one side and a thermally conductive element at the opening of the tube on the other side, the temperature of the container interior can be measured punctually and accurately ,
  • a low thermal conductivity is understood to be a value below 12 W / (m * K), preferably a value below 5 W / (m * K) and particularly preferably a value below 1 W / (m * K).
  • the temperature sensor measures a falsified value, since the elements of the temperature sensor system or of the measuring device also influence the result of the measurement of the temperature and can thus falsify the temperature actually present in the container.
  • the temperature sensor may be a ceramic chip having a diameter of about 1 mm, preferably about 0.8 mm. Furthermore, the sensor preferably has a length of about 3 mm, more preferably about 2 mm.
  • the sensor can be designed with a platinum coating having a measured value or measured value range of approximately 100 ⁇ or 1000 ⁇ . It is also conceivable that the sensor has been artificially aged, whereby it is achieved that over the age of the sensor no measurement fluctuations occur and thus a readjustment, for example, in electronic, metrological nature is no longer necessary.
  • the tube preferably has a high strength and / or rigidity. This prevents the tube from being deformed during the piercing process and the temperature sensor inside it being damaged.
  • the tube may be made of a material having high weight-specific strength and / or rigidity. This offers the advantage that the temperature sensor system has a high rigidity and / or strength with a small construction volume. Consequently, the temperature sensor system can also be used in the temperature measurement in packaging or beverage containers, where only a small volume of construction is available. In particular, this is the case in the area of bottle necks.
  • the tube according to the invention may be made of a fiber composite material.
  • the advantage of fiber composites is that the mechanical or thermal properties of these materials can be easily adjusted via a large number of parameters.
  • the tube is preferably a tube made of a fiber-plastic composite, more preferably of a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic.
  • the advantage here is that these tubes have a particularly high stability and poor thermal conductivity.
  • the matrix of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic preferably has thermosets, e.g. As epoxy or phenolic resins, on. But it can also be made of thermoplastics. It is also conceivable that the tube is made of a ceramic fiber composite material.
  • the thermally conductive element may advantageously comprise silver.
  • silver has a very good thermally conductive property, it can thereby be ensured that the temperature sensor, which is arranged in the interior of the tube, also detects the temperature to be measured without significant measurement errors.
  • the thermally conductive element is an alloy of silver or, in addition to silver, it also contains additives. This offers the advantage that such a thermally conductive element is harder compared to a pure silver element, is more resistant to environmental influences and is also tarnish-resistant. If the silver starts to run over time, the thermal conductivity of the element deteriorates and the temperature to be measured can no longer be optimally transmitted to the temperature sensor. The measurements would be faulty. But it is also conceivable that the thermally conductive element of another metal, such as, copper, gold or aluminum or of another thermally conductive alloy.
  • the thermally conductive element advantageously has a diameter which corresponds at least to the diameter of the opening of the tube. However, it preferably has a diameter which corresponds to the outer diameter of the tube. This will prevent the tube from fraying at the end.
  • the thermally conductive element may be formed platelet-shaped.
  • the thermally conductive element is preferably a bolt-shaped or pin-shaped element which protrudes from the opening of the pipe into the interior of the pipe. This offers the advantage that the element, by its elongated extent, transmits the temperature prevailing at the opening of the tube to the inside of the tube where the temperature sensor is located.
  • the thermally conductive element is rivet-shaped.
  • Such an element has an elongated body with a thickened end. The end may be formed, for example, half-round or flachrund.
  • the thermally conductive element can touch the temperature sensor, so that the temperature to be measured is transmitted directly to the temperature sensor. It is also conceivable that the thermally conductive element and / or the temperature sensor are connected to the pipe with an adhesive. This ensures that the components remain in place even with vibrations or movements of the sensor system. Ideally, the thermally conductive element and the temperature sensor are mechanically bonded together with an adhesive. For this purpose, a thermally conductive adhesive is particularly well suited. As a result, a temperature transfer is achieved in the best possible way.
  • the thermally conductive adhesive may be epoxy or silicone products, such as a 1-part thermosetting silicone or a 2-component epoxy adhesive. It is also conceivable that the thermally conductive adhesive has metal particles.
  • the temperature sensor system according to the invention may have at least one connecting element in the region of the second end of the tube.
  • this connecting element By means of this connecting element, it is possible to arrange the sensor system, for example, on a measuring device.
  • connecting elements such elements are conceivable with which releasable connections, preferably positive or non-positive, can be produced.
  • the connecting element may preferably have at least one thread, particularly preferably an external thread. It is also conceivable that the connecting element is designed such that it is part of a bayonet closure.
  • the connecting element has at least one button. By means of this at least one button, the temperature sensor system can be connected to the other part of the bayonet closure, which has at least one longitudinal slot and an adjoining short transverse slot.
  • the connecting element has at least one slot, wherein a button of the other part of the bayonet closure can be inserted.
  • the connecting element can also perpendicular to a direction of insertion at a junction elongated elevations that are not run around, but are interrupted, as they are, for example, even with camera interchangeable lenses present.
  • the connecting element may be part of the tube. But it can also be a separate component. If it is a separate component, then this is preferably positive or materially, for example. Connected by an adhesive to the pipe.
  • the separate connection element may have a bore into which the tube is inserted.
  • the connecting element has a stepped and / or a blind hole. This offers the advantage that the second end of the tube is protected by the connecting element and a failure of the tube is prevented.
  • the present invention is also directed to a measuring device according to claim 10.
  • the measuring device according to the invention has a measuring head, at least one temperature sensor system according to the invention, a mechanical receptacle, a piercing means and an evaluation unit.
  • the piercing means is chamfered. This offers the advantage that the container can be pierced with relatively little force and also an accurate and punctured puncturing of the container can be ensured.
  • the piercing means is preferably made of a hard material. It is also conceivable that the piercing means is a needle. Ideally, the piercing means is a hollow body, for example a tube.
  • the temperature sensor system according to the invention can be arranged within the piercing means.
  • the temperature sensor system is arranged protected in the piercing means and damage to the sensor system is prevented.
  • the temperature sensor system is slightly narrower than the diameter of the cavity of the Stinging and touched this essentially or not at all. Thus, a temperature transfer from the piercing means to the temperature sensor is reliably avoided.
  • the temperature sensor system and the piercing means are arranged relatively movable relative to each other. With such an arrangement, the temperature sensor system is completely protected within the piercing means during the piercing operation. After the piercing operation is completed, the sensor system is either pushed out of the piercing means by a moving mechanism, or the piercing means is retracted. It is also conceivable that both the piercing means retracted and the sensor system is pushed out. As a result, the sensor system protrudes beyond the piercing means and is in direct contact with the matter to be measured.
  • An advantage of the direct temperature measurement is that only the temperature of the medium to be tested is detected and influencing the measurement result by influences from the measurement environment play a minor role, whereby measurement errors are low and the sensor reproduces the temperature prevailing in the medium to be tested accurately.
  • the mechanical recording is equipped with a rotating and / or pivoting mechanism.
  • the container can be shaken so as to achieve a state of equilibrium between the gas and liquid phase within the container and thus to be able to achieve an exact sample measurement.
  • the piercing means may comprise means with which the pressure prevailing inside the container can be measured.
  • the piercing means has at least one transverse bore at the end, via which the gas pressure in the container can be measured.
  • the piercing means may be arranged on the measuring head.
  • the piercing means can be firmly and unyieldingly fixed in the measuring head, but also be relatively movable by a movement mechanism to the measuring head.
  • the relative mobility of the piercing means to the measuring head offers the advantage that in this way, for example, after Piercing process the piercing can be fed into the probe and thus the temperature sensor system is exposed.
  • the temperature sensor system can also be arranged on the measuring head.
  • the connection between the temperature sensor system and the measuring head can preferably be produced by the connecting means according to the invention. It is also conceivable that the sensor system is relatively movable to the measuring head.
  • the container is sealed by the piercing means or by the measuring head, so that during and after piercing a pressure prevailing in the container overpressure and / or a liquid in the container can not escape.
  • a flexible membrane seal is arranged on the measuring head. By this membrane seal the pierced container is sealed. Ideally, the membrane seal is pressed against the container with a counterpressure, whereby a gastight connection is produced.
  • Fig. 1 an inventive temperature sensor system 10 for the beverage and / or packaging industry is shown schematically in the side view.
  • the system 10 a tube 11, which is preferably constructed of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and having a first 11.1 and a second end 11.2.
  • a temperature sensor 12 is arranged in the interior of the tube, from which electrical leads 12.1 pass through the tube 11 to the measuring device 30, each having an insulation 12.2.
  • a thermally conductive element 13 is arranged at an opening 11.3 of the first end 11.1 of the tube 11.
  • the rivet 13 has an outer diameter which corresponds at least to the outer diameter of the tube 11.
  • Both the rivet 13 and the temperature sensor 12 are fixed in the tube 11 by a thermally conductive adhesive 14.
  • the thermally conductive adhesive By the thermally conductive adhesive, the positioning of the temperature sensor 12 and the rivet 13 is ensured on the one hand and on the other hand, a temperature transfer between the rivet 13 and the sensor 12 are best ensured.
  • the temperature sensor 12 is a ceramic chip, which preferably has a diameter of about 1 mm.
  • a hexagonal screw 15 is arranged at the second end 11.2 of the tube 11.
  • the hexagon screw 15 has a stepped bore 15.1.
  • the stepped bore has the advantage that the second end 11.2 is protected by the hex screw and thus can not fringe.
  • the hexagon screw 15 is mechanically connected to an adhesive 16 on the tube 11.
  • the temperature sensor system 10 can be connected to a measuring device 30, preferably to a measuring head 31 of a measuring device 30.
  • another connecting means is arranged on the second end 11. 2 of the tube 11.
  • a bayonet lock is particularly well suited.
  • the tube 11 may have button-like elements in the region of the second end 11.2.
  • a measuring device 30 for the beverage and / or packaging industry is shown schematically.
  • the device 30 has a mechanical receptacle 32 for a container 50.
  • the container 50 is preferably a bottle with a wall 50.2, which is closed by a lid 50.1. Within the container 50 is a drink.
  • a level 50.5 of the beverage is indicated schematically. Above the level 50.5 is a head space 50.3, which is usually filled with a gaseous medium, which is preferably CO 2 -containing.
